1. The children read the *°cal paper eves if they have to aped oat the words. It contains tha names of people they know and describes events near home of which they west to know— benee it is a speller, reader, and in one. It tells of towns churches, bridges, and streams with which they are acquainted, and thus cacels a geography. It tails of officers, commissioners’ aw flings, conventions, elections and public questions, thus giving brass in civil government and political economy. On nearly •very page there is smterial lor mathematical calculation, mak bf hr good arithmetic. And if the children will either copy Its paragraphs of home news or •rita news items for dm paper, it becomes a school of writing, spelling, punctuation, grammar and rhetoric. Shouldn’t every parent send bis children to suck a school when the tuition is only one dollar a year for the whole family? 2 The local paper is s school In which parents may sit side by •Me with their children. One dots not need to tell how •ataaMe each a school is to the borne and the home circle. The Paeaat who in this day of news P*pera allows bis children to ltro» up in total ignorance as sumes S (earful responsibility. The teachers and school offi cer* who ere alive and up to the tunas with their work arc always saadm of the local paper. Any teacher or school officer who doesn’t keepwell informed about canent events at home is more dead than aHve. and he who does heap so informed Sods inspira tion in his work, because he is in closer touch with bis people and their surroundings. *■« local annpapK should kwIw the hearty support of titter cttfaen of the coutsneaity *ki» k is pu Wished It it the ptsplc’a school, and in no other o* <**tfi i» to much education krnkhed far the price paid. „ -V ”• i mmm" Ckt soother page wehave cop ied sen* of the agreeabU things our exchanges have ban saying about Ceatouia's Fourth of July cokhrotiou. I. behalf of our Pt—tj county, isd people we §*• .fc-SaJji! «Ln The colored excursion from Cherhnte, which did snch a ttatvunr bpaioeas in, Gastonia lMt Thursday, had a poet laure ate. The ride to Gastonia set his muse in a fine frenzy, and several verses that would have made Walt Whitman turn verdant with envy rolled themselves out and eventually into print. Some copies of the Charlotte singer's coronation literature were distri buted in Gastonia, the measure bring 3H by 12#. The laureate's name "Miles J. Rhynes, Jr," is signed at the bottom with the title of "North Carolina Bard." And the name is none other than that o', a former inhabitant of Gastonia, who will be remembered as I uving once been janitor of the I-irst Nation *1 Bank. Below we give a sam ple or two of the stanzas, select ing those which arc leas likely than the rest to give the gentle reader tetanus or frenzied neuras thenia. As recorded by the North Car olina Bard, the talk in Charlotte is given thus; Tie picnic diet of which the poet dreamed appears to have inspired the following: The scene now shifts to Gas tonia, where eager expectant throngs await with bated breath the arrival of the excursionists. Hear the poet's harp twanging above the rattle of the rails and the snorts of the iron horse: But we must be merciful to onr kind readers. We refrain from pntnnm thro* any more of this kind. LUCIA ITEMS. Lucia. July 12.—The fine rains of last Saturday, Thursday, and to-day are making the corn and cotton grow very rapidly- and if the season continues for five or six weeks longer there will be more corn ana cotton gathered in this section this fall than for years.

He taught here last winter and gave satisfaction generally. We or* wen pie**ed with the ticket nominated by the conven tion lost Wednesday and especi ally with the men for Senator and Boom of Representatives. The only trouble u they are ra nked to da their work in too hoc! a time. The law or the constitution which ever H is that •Uows them pay far only sixty days work should be changed so they can take mote time and not he nlfhed to death to get through. The interests of the Stele Mve booster so great that sixty days Is too short e time for the law makers to da their work in. They should have not less than four months anyway. HcAOENVOLE.

Since the grand pro ject of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for crossing the city from New Jersey to Long Island by tunnel, this scheme following closely upon the rapid transit; project for conveying the people of New York to and from their business by subways, there have been numerous others broached. The Xew York sod New Jersey i Railroad is coming into the city by a tunnel under the river, the franchise having already been granted. The chief engineer of the rapid transit commission has presented a tunnel plan for relief of the congestion of the Brook* Irn Bridge, with a similar scheme for avoiding at the entrances of the Manhattan andWilliam.burg bridges now building a Hke an noyance and peril. His scheme involves an expense of $2,300,000. It has been rumored that sc homes are in contemplation for Um construction of an uader gronnd theater and of shop*.

Stanley, July 12.—There were good rains in some section* the post week, while other* are yet in need of refreshing showers. The wheat crop is now being threshed and ia of fair quality but the yield is so light that the threshermen cannot muster up enough courage to blow the notice that the second lar gest list of names at the Teach ers' Institute at Dallas the past week have the address of Stanley. This speaks for onr high school as being a factor in that branch of industry. l'rof, D. C. Johnson, the uew principal of the Stanley Creek Institute, is in town, working up the interest of next school term. Mr. E.L. Pegraui, Jr., and Davie Smith are now canvassing Catawba county for assistants and helpers with the most stren uous persistence. It seems that our Editor of Tuk Gazkttk is growing with the people of Gaston, many of whom had never heard him on the hustings before the Fourth. He shook his fist at the crowd and called them liars [Fourth of-July-ers] and no one resented it noc denied the fact. «-oi. nna Koper, ol Belmont, said that his far-fetched punning •was catching and the one of n! Y., and Ky., made him think of Rye. The Colonel declares that he always looked down on water aa suitable for navigation but aa a beverage it locks leveraj^c. We hope the commissioners will conseut to grade aud macad amize our road to the top of the hill this side of the river, as this will give a large part of Gaston county a level road to Dallas, Gastonia, and all points south. A large delegation will urge this matter on Monday next. BATHER UNPROFITABLE. Tha Oavernment’s Way si Baal ness SaU IL.M6.M0 Worth ol PriMrty brt2MB0. N«w York Cor. Bahimon Saa. For less than $20,000 the Uni ted States government has sold to private purchasers the pneu matic gnu plant at Sandy Hook, the establishment of which has cost in the neighborhood of $1,* 000,000. It was after the three great pneumatic guns, with their elab orate equipment of air compres sors, engines, pumps and boilers of which so much was expected a few years ago, when they were installed, had been condemned as "unserviceable" that sealed proposals for the purchase of the entire plant were asked. There were comparatively few bidders, and among them it was found that Salomon Bros., of this city', were the highest at a price for the entire plant of less than $20.000._ They an Pretesting.

To the Republicans of North Carolina: In view of the disaffection and disgust existing all over the State among Republicans under the present management, -with Senator Pritchard as chairman and autocratic head Boss, with the Revenue Ring and its little Bosses as yelpers, it is con sidered the duty of this com mittee composed only of Repub licans, in the interest of-the party and its fnture organization and success (after the 4th of March next. Senator Pritchard will drop with a thud out of the Senate into merited obscurity) to ask every true Republican to introduce and have passed, or at least to take a vote, in his coun ty convention on some protest or resolution condemning the present and past two years' mansgement of the party and protesting against the future management of the party by the same men, and in order to assist yon, we herein formulate such resolution, which may be changed in any wav to sait your views and the conditions of yonr county: Resolved. That we are op posed to the present manage men of the Republican organi sation in the hands of Pederal office holders and protest against a continuance of the same; and believe it will be to the best in terest and harmony of the patty that no Pederal office bolder shell be elected or serve in any organisation committee of the petty.
